The Independent Kite
A kite is very nice to own;
It never, never grieves you,
'Cept when it wants to play alone
And just goes off and leaves you!
Practicing
The black notes are the bridegrooms,
The white notes are the brides!
And I? Why, I'm the minister and all the guests besides!
Fairyland Secret Service
A snowflake is a letter
A fairy in the sky
Is sending to the fairies here,
And, when they've read its message clear,
Lest any one should spy,
They purse their little lips and blow
To melt that tell-tale note of snow.
Oh, let us see if we can snatch
And read a Fairyland dispatch!
